Episode 810: Casualties at the Cathedral

The guys get together again to talk about the action from Assen. This year the cathedral celebrated 100 years of racing. The action fast and furious as a number of riders had crashes on Friday. Marc Marquez and Ai Ogura having the biggest ones. The racing action started off with Moto3 and the pack racing was tight and exciting as always. The lunette crash at the chicane saw the Italian struck by Furusato. This brought out a red flag once the leaders had reach the 4th sector. Jim then goes on a rant, arguing that the red flag should have been displayed by at least sector two. The Moto2 race featured Moreira winning the race after stalking Canet the whole way. With this win Moreira becomes the first Brazilian to win a Moto2 race. MotoGp was also a crash filled event. The Sprint went off with out a hitch and saw Marc Marquez make a great start from the second row to win with his brother in second and Bezzecchi a strong third. Sunday Marc had another great start and cruised to victory at the slowest possible speed. Alex and Acosta tangled with Alex suffering a broke hand in the accident and Acosta was accused by Marc of riding too aggressively. Bagnaia set several fastest laps looked good and hopefully the podium will help him to fight at the front for the rest of the year.
